Bloke called round flogging these - full of tools and lifetime guarantee (he said) ....normally 2.5k€ but 900€ today 🤔 never heard of them, did I pass up on a bargain ?

Whose lifetime is the warranty based on?
My dead GrandMa?? 😂😂😂😂😂

TBF I've a big ole Clarke roller tool cab I've had for around 20 year which still good with a wide roebuck top box on it still works fine. Lasting the test of time.

I've a Roebuck toolbox I've had since I was 18, that's been all over the place and still in one decent shaped piece.

Just come across these, some nice options to play around with, 4/6 draws 1m high/wide with birch top and a vice.. for about 1100£ hard to find them with individual locking draws for the van

Looks very similar to the Tevo kit I fitted my van out with back in 06

There are a couple of different similar type suppliers all look good. I'm still yet to pull the plug on a new chest as I've take the last 2 months off and bought the Isuzu. I keep looking on feckbook but no bargain about. Sealey superline pro which I believe is there top of the range 1 doesn't look bad value

Plenty around, but it’s very hard to find deep ones which take the dewalt pack out length ways, most the ones have to go face on which limits how many you get in.
Timber all looks well but it all feels very space wasted, not fitted snug etc - May as well make my own!

Thinking this for my ‘toolbox’ with a vice mounted ontop or maybe the pull out variant they do - just to put in generic mechanic tools etc

Everything else trade wise is in Dewalt tstak boxes or organisers and all fittings are now in mid size euro crates - want to be able to take everything I need out of the van rather than working out of the van of that makes sense? Spent far too many hours scrolling through generic crap racking 🤯

Those above look like a copy of the sortimo kit that was in an ex-as transporter I once had.

This looks like a newer version

Does anyone know of like a 7’ wide tool chest type with opening or roller shutters each side about 1m wide and 1m high. Want to mount it on a trailer, thinking of making a permanent trailer for lime pointing. 1 ton bag in middle lime and hessian and stuff on front in box mixer on back.

Or they mage to order? Arb body builders etc?

I don't know about roller shutters but plenty of chequer plate tool boxes that size with twin doors on eBay, expensive though

Put a roller shutter thing like you can get for going in front of a tipper body on a transit?

You could mount a pin for a belle mixer on the back but the trailer will end up covered in lime mortar unless you jetwash it weekly
